💪 Surgery Residents Take on the HerdFit Games—and Bring Home a Medal! 🏃♂️🏅
Two of our residents, Dr. Kelsie Roberts Moore (PGY-4) and Dr. Eric Graulau Rivera (PGY-1), teamed up as the co-ed duo “Threshold Mindset” to take on the HerdFit Games!
Inspired by the HYROX race format, the HerdFit Games challenged teams to combine two miles of running with eight demanding fitness stations—including rowing, burpee broad jumps, farmer carries, bench hops, kettlebell swings, plate thrusters, walking lunges, and a final plate drag to the finish. 🏋️♀️🔥
But Eric wasn’t done yet! The very next day, he competed in a duathlon in Indiana and earned a first-place medal in his event! 🥇🚴♂️🏃♂️
From tackling demanding fitness challenges as a team to pushing through another endurance event the following day, these residents demonstrate the discipline, resilience, and determination that extend well beyond the operating room.
Congratulations to Kelsie and Eric on their accomplishments—and a special shout-out to Eric for an incredible back-to-back weekend! Way to represent Marshall Surgery! 👏💚
